Dear Marilyn,
Today as I was switching channels on TV I came upon your program and was delighted to hear you. It has been several years that I have been wanting to thank you. I am from Latvia and currently visiting my daughter in the U.S. and when I saw your program. It has encouraged me why I have not done this. I just want to thank you my sister in Christ for your life and ministry.
I am from former Soviet Union and have many times felt a nudge and calling from God to be in the ministry to speak to churches but have always been afraid of it, women were not allowed to preach and speak in churches. I understood that He was calling me but would not step over my fear.
But when God has brought you to Latvia, you became a first example of a women speaker. You have visited Latvia several times and I made sure to visit your conferences, I learned so much from you. I wanted to say thank you for being and example to me of how women can be in service in the ministry that regardless of our placement in society or gender God will use us if we let Him.
In 1995 you had cruise conferences in Russia on Rivers Volga and Dnepr…and I was able to participate. It was a wonderful time of fellowship with your team. On that trip I received two miracles. First I was healed physically and second I received a prophecy from you.
From as long as I can remember I had a dream that nobody knew about; a dream I had buried long time ago thinking it was not realistic. But when God spoke to me through you things He opened to me through the prophecy turned my world upside down.
Now I can say that I am in the ministry serving God, writing and speaking. I have written three books of which one has been published, the second is being edited for print, and the third I am putting final touches on. Watching your program just reminded me how I have never thanked you for the impact that you had on my life. I thank God for you and you ministry. You are a wonderful example of a woman in ministry, serving God.
T.B.
Tatjana, Latvia
